These are okay... but I am pretty sure we can put together a wiki that is more accessible a high school (and perhaps even a college) audience. We should aim to partner with schools around the world, so that for the Hinduism page, we can talk (via Skype or IM or whatever) to students in a predominantly Hindu school, and they can tell us their view of the religion. The same applies for Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, and whatever other religions we want to examine. We will also interview a number of practitioners of each religion and put together video clips of those interviews on our wiki.
Think expansively about how this can be a great teaching resource for people around the world to use.

Here's a map that shows the current distribution of world religions...
Here's a pretty good world religions page we can use as a starting point...
And here's some information from the BBC.
This is an okay overview of world religions from Wikipedia.
